Dennis Foggia was at the podium ceremony during the last Moto3 Austrian Grand Prix and it's the kind of moment that we generally spend in jubilation, being touched by grace and voluptuousness. But the Italian, who left the benches of the VR46 academy, like Bulega or Baldassarri, had a serious expression. It must be said that nothing is going well with his Leopard team and the crisis is even turning into a family affair.
When he was asked to Dennis Foggia to tell his Austrian Grand Prix who had brought him to the podium, he surprised on Sky Italia with a speech far from legitimate satisfaction dressed up in the feeling of a job well done with his team. On the contrary, it was singled out. And not just a little since the Italian clearly indicated his bad relationship with her, because she prohibited her father from accessing the paddock. Then, as if to complete his work, he announced his intention to find a place in Moto2.
2021 is the fifth season in Moto3 of Dennis Foggia who, now 20 years old, wants to take the step towards the next level of the World Championship. He has never materialized in the entry category of the Grands Prix, he has not even been part of the top 3 in the general classification, but his experience and his size already call for a change in the competition. In addition, the relationship with his team, Leopard Racing, is now openly confrontational. The driver expressed his anger and disappointment with his team who, according to his own words, withdrew his father's paddock pass, who was therefore forced to follow his son's race from the stands.
Dennis Foggia: “ I don't want to continue in this category and in this team«
« My father was excluded from the paddock, which was an unfair decision " , has explained Dennis to Sky microphones, as reported GPOne.com. " He was in the stands and I thought he should see me on the podium“added the Italian after third place in Austria. “ I was very nervous, I didn't sleep much in the last few days, especially last night" admitted the driver at the finish of the eleventh round of the calendar. “ I don't think anyone can take away what I can do on the bike and I want to move to Moto2 next year, although there are contracts that say I have to stay here ».
« I don't want to continue in this category and in this team, so I will try to make this transition », Confides the Italian, very convinced that his future is no longer in Moto3. For this reason, he is waiting for offers to make the jump to the intermediate class, wanting a new project and away from drama. And with his father. Maverick Vinales would he become a school?
